Wind Compass for Negative User Reviews
✓ MehGood when it works, which is about 20% of the time..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Wind compassIt’s actually a good aap when it works. Tried refreshing it but to no avail! I think they just want you to sign up for no ads at a price. Follow up to this review. Because I like this aap I paid for it. It started out without having to refresh. Now even paying for it still have to refresh and still not working!!!! Beware before you purchase..Version: 1.6.9
✓ Compass part sucksCompass is always out quite a bit..Version: 1.4.11
✓ Not too bad!Wind speed seemed accurate...same with the weather network app reading...but the wind direction is off...not the same direction as shown from other app..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great AppLove the sunrise and sunset time feature..Version: 1.4.17
✓ Slow to update15 minutes intervals is to slow a lot of apps show real-time. So as a kitesurfer I want to use this app for all its features and GUI but unless it’s telling me what is going on now. It’s a waste of my time opening it. P.S I payed for the app. So I’m Not just complaining, I want it updated so it’s the best..Version: 1.4.11
✓ Stopped workingThis no longer works You need to get alternative data source as Dark Sky is going.Version: 1.6.9
✓ Lost in spaceAfter a month and thinking maybe it will come around, this app still is unable to prove long/lat and any weather information. Maybe one day....Version: 1.1.2
✓ WindCompassI like it and accurate but unfortunately it keeps crashing so I have to keep reloading it! Might you be able to fix the problem? I am using an iPhone 11 Yours Mr R A Clamp.Version: 1.5.16
✓ Not workingI can only get a blank screen.Version: 1.5.10
✓ Simple and EffectiveDoes what it sasys.Version: 1.4.18
✓ Wrong location showingWorks only 50% of time. Most time shows south instead of north....Version: 1.4.17
✓ What a load of old rotKept telling me to retry, doesn’t make any sense when it does work, just some swirling wind with a map you can’t understand or navigate. Had high hopes but now deleted along with many others that promise so much. Thank god I didn’t pay to remove ads..Version: 1.5.16
✓ When it worked, it was decent.I used this app for several years and it was pretty accurate. Recently, all I get are error messages and it tells me to try again in a few minutes. I’ve tried again after minutes, hours, days and weeks. The app has been updated, IOS is updated on my device and it still fails to work. I wish it would work but I can’t really give a positive review when it failed completely..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Good but missing some basicsOverall a very good app. Nice to have real time wind direction, but presentation is confusing by relying solely on compass mode. Would like to see a North-up option, which I think is how many people are used to seeing wind reports. Also the feedback section asks you to select a feature to discuss but I found no way to select it.Version: 1.5.10
✓ Meads workGreat to start with it now cannot automatically or manually find my location. So does not work now.Version: 1.6.9
✓ Reads clipboard...Update: too bad W/C predates the iOS 14 App Store “Privacy Policy”... besides pasting a copy the clipboard contents on startup, would interesting to know what else it’s poking around in on the phone... iOS 14 reports “Wind Compass pasted from Messages”... this happens each time the app is started.... if the clipboard is empty then it does nothing but if the clipboard contains data Wind Compass “pastes” it... why would Wind Compass paste from the clipboard upon starting and what is it doing with the pasted data!?! Wind Compass is a weather aggregator... it aggregates data from Dark Sky or other providers... it really has no business pasting around your iOS clipboard... Bad enough people paid for lifetime service and didn’t get it but this clipboard business lifts that concern to another level... You really might want to avoid this app in favor of another... Btw: Wind Compass is the only app on this device that behaves like this....Version: 1.7.1
✓ RubbishRequest could not be compleated… Doesn’t work at all.Version: 1.6.9
✓ Love this AppAn amazing app. Every day use and I love it. You can see the weather but you can’t see the wind .This app is your eyes for the wind. Stephen from Penarth.Version: 1.4.6
✓ Issues getting it to loadIt’s helpful when it will open but many times it fails to load. Many reviewers love it. For whatever reason I have problems getting any info at all. No matter if I open it at home or elsewhere. “Try again later” is what I get, and as one reviewer wrote ‘that can mean hours later’ so that’s a problem..Version: 1.6.9
✓ 1/5Worked for maybe a day, hasn’t worked since..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Novelty app.I could see a storm approaching. I wanted to know the wind speeds so I could determine whether or not I would have to disassemble my vertical planter. This app said there were 8mph winds with 16mph gusts. I was in disbelief, so I tried downloading other wind speed apps. By the time I realized that a severe weather warning with wind gusts in excess of 60mph had been issued over an hour earlier (via Apple’s Weather app, doh!), the planter had blown over. It was a heartbreaking disaster and not entirely my fault—thus the one star review. You bad, bad app!.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Nice little appThe widget is very handy as it gives the minimum info but enough. The main app has now become less useful unless you pay for the annual plan. The problem with these subscriptions they likely to be bad value for money. Also they can go out of business fast and you end up paying and no refund. As I say it’s generally a nice little app and also unique style of presentation, simply..Version: 1.5.10
✓ Wind App with Adverts despite paying fee.Update - November Hi since dowloading the app in February and paying a “reasonable fee” for getting rid of adverts. (See my 5 star review below). Well I now have adverts showing (despite in good faith - paying the fee as agreed to not have any adverts) and if I press the Remove Ads button and try press Restore - nothing happens ! REALLY LET DOWN BY THIS AND FEEL A LACK OF TRUST IN THE APP AND DEVELOPERS. Until I have the ads removed I have deleted the app from my phone. ————————————— February This is a great little app. The widget work well on the iPhone 5SE. Its well thought out and simple to use - with enough configurations to personalise it but not over-complicate it. It tells me what I need to know in one view. The in-app purchase gets rid of the ads for you at a reasonable price. Overall I am very pleased..Version: 1.5.15
✓ Could be greatThe app is ok, but it should not want to locate where I am. That’s nonsense and a tracking concern. I should be able to select where I want to know the wind speed not have this app assume. How many users are using the app as a before I go tool to decide. I really don’t care what the wind speed, short of damaging storms, while at home. And this apps constant need to calibrate, why for what purpose?.Version: 1.4.12
✓ Changed my rating due to failures…This has been working perfectly for several years when I moved to my home near the water in Florida. For the past few months, I’m getting ‘Cannot provide request. Try again later.’ Well, later doesn’t mean a few minutes. It’s many hours up to a few days before I can get any reading of the air whipping by my house and curling what should be relaxed water. If there is an issue with the transmitter, or this app. I’d greatly appreciate getting it fixed since I couldn’t send a direct message either from this app. Nothing else comes close to what this CAN do and I can’t afford to get my own anemometer..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Not accurateDefinitely not a good tool for aviation. Winds are actually 220 and it’s showing 280. Not even close to being worth a purchase with that large of a difference.Version: 1.6.8
✓ DisappointedI just can't seem to find a weather app that shows everything I want to see. And I have a hard time finding one that's accurate. I have horses and hour by hour I'd like to know what's going on so that I can make sure that my animals in my property are in good condition. Most weather apps don't show me the wind but they show me other things I need to know such as is it going to rain, is it going to snow, etc. I like this app and I paid a lot for it because it shows me the wind. But it doesn't show me if it's going to rain or if it's going to snow so I end up having to use two or three different apps just to get the information I need. If I could take it back, I would not pay for this app. I did not get offered a free trial. It's the bare minimum of information and based solely on the wind pretty much. I'm greatly disappointed..Version: 1.8.2
✓ Doesn’t loadDoesn’t load half the time in my area.Version: 1.6.9
✓ DisappointedWith the latest “upgrade”, I am unable to look at the daily wind forecast. Now users have to subscribe for that feature. I use the app infrequently and a subscription is not warranted for me. Sorry, I will have to use a different app from now on. I will check in a few months to find out if you have changed your mind. Perhaps you are willing to keep customers in exchange for advertisements but without paying an annual fee..Version: 1.5.10
✓ App no longer works iOS 14.5Update won’t even work. IOS 14.5 subscription attempt rip off now. Used to be helpful, I paid 3 bucks for this app and got screwed..Version: 1.5.16
✓ Used to b awesomeNow not so much . Barely loads anymore..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Wind sockI love the app it’s great. It’s fun. The reason I gave it only I three-star is because my husband has the same app on his phone and we can be in the same area in the truck together and wind speed and gusts will be different which makes me question if it’s correct it all but I still like the app because I’m sure it’s close and since he drives a truck and hauls campers he has to know what the wind speed and gusts are at all times..Version: 1.4.11
✓ Don’t upgradeUse to be good with ads intruding the functionality. Now £15 a year. What a ripoff! This app will now get deleted fro my phone Such a shame we cannot roll back the versions...Version: 1.5.10
✓ Needed Wind speedDownload a app it’s an interesting layout. The wind speed here in Palm Desert California is approximately 15 to 25 mile an hour gusts, according to the weather service and weather underground app. I can barely stand still with the Gusty wind. APP shows 4 miles an hour with GUST of 9 mph, the app is not effective or accurate. I close the app and opened it several times thinking it just needs to reboot, no luck. I need to know the direction and speed for the different activities. Sorry but would not recommend. Thank you.Version: 1.5.16
✓ No use, never works.It never loads the information. Just sits spinning!.Version: 1.4.16
✓ InaccurateApp mimicked the Met office forecast and showed gusts up to 24mph. But outside, barely a branch moved and I can only imagine the app does not show the actual wind speed but the anticipated wind speed which on this occasion was miles out !.Version: 1.4.15
